Leftovers from old Winnipeg Transit system cause confusion

A Winnipeg Transit sign with defunct route numbers is seen on Portage Avenue on Aug. 1, 2025. (Jeff Keele/CTV News Winnipeg) As Winnipeg's transit system enters its second month, leftover infrastructure, like shelters and signs, is causing confusion amongst bus riders. Jean Feliksiak, 93, said she relies on the bus to get around. 'We can't drive when we are old,' she said. 'I'm 93, nearly 94 years old.' Three weeks ago, she waited at her usual stop right out front of her apartment complex on Portage Avenue. 'Maybe 20 minutes, and then someone came out and shouted, 'Don't stand there; they don't stop,'' said Feliksiak, adding there was a sign with defunct route numbers and a bus shelter. She said she isn't the only person who believed it was still an active stop. 'I stopped waiting there, and I would look out, and people are waiting and waiting and waiting, then they would give up,' she said. CTV News spotted a woman standing at the shelter watching buses go by Friday morning. She later said she thought she was supposed to stand there. Winnipeg Transit said they are taking away the existing shelters and signs at the old stops. Out of 193 shelters at decommissioned bus stops, 71 have been removed to date. 'Transit staff are continuing to work on removing shelters, signage and unbranded courtesy benches from discontinued stops,' a transit spokesperson wrote in a statement. Work is expected to be completed by the end of August, according to the statement. That won't help Feliksiak and she wants her stop back because now she and others have to walk a block or so in either direction to catch the bus. 'We're prisoners here, particularly in the wintertime, the sidewalks!' she said, 'How are we going to go there or go there?'
